EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful juxtaposition between the world of aviation and the ongoing struggle faced by Iberia workers in Spain. Through the delicate curtains of a departure hall window, an Iberia passenger aircraft soars into the sky, symbolizing freedom and progress. However, this image also serves as a stark reminder of the civil unrest and employment challenges plaguing Spain's flagship airline. Taken during a strike at Pablo Ruiz Picasso Airport in Malaga on February 18,2013, striking union workers clashed with police at Madrid's Barajas airport on the same day. The week-long strike was initiated to protest against over 3,800 pending job cuts at Iberia. Against this backdrop of tension and conflict, Jon Nazca skillfully captures an industry in turmoil. The low angle view emphasizes both the magnitude of the aircraft and its shadow cast upon urban city surroundings. This creative use of perspective highlights not only environmental issues such as pollution but also broader concerns like climate change and global warming associated with air travel. In this thought-provoking composition devoid of people, Nazca masterfully conveys a sense of destruction looming alongside flight itself. The silhouette-like appearance further adds to its impact while drawing attention to both sides involved - those who seek progress through aviation versus those fighting for their livelihoods within it. Overall, this photograph encapsulates multiple layers: from labor disputes to environmental consequences; it invites viewers to reflect on these complex issues surrounding one singular moment captured by Jon Nazca's lens.
